The general watched the arrows flying into the empty space and shouted: “Bring my bow and arrows!”
“Aye!”
Before long, his bodyguard had brought a gorgeously painted black bow and three arrows to him.
He raised the bow and drew an arrow.
The lanterns had flown very high by now and the soldiers’ arrows could not reach them. They stopped and turned to look at their leader.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh –
Three consecutive arrows flew out like meteorites in the night sky.
The first shot through a lantern.
